Cobourg East Pierhead Lighthouse

Cobourg sketch

 

The town of Cobourg sits on Lake Ontario between Toronto and Kingston. The Cobourg East Pierhead Light marks the entrance to the Cobourg Marina. The squat cement tower is similar to the pierhead light at Burlington. A shorter green and white cylindrical modern tower marks the west pierhead, and a red and white tower marks the inner marina.
